Set up support for creating and joining 
Skype for Business
 meetings

If you plan to support 
Skype for Business
 for calendar and meeting features in 
BlackBerry Work
, you require the following:
  • An on-premises 
    Skype for Business
     Server 2015 and later
  • An on-premises 
    Microsoft Exchange
     server supported by 
    BlackBerry Work
    . See the Compatibility Matrix for Mobile/Desktop OS and Enterprise Applications for a list of supported 
    Microsoft Exchange
     servers.
  • The 
    Skype for Business
     client must be installed on devices for users to be able to join meetings from a calendar event.
Also note the following considerations:
  • The 
    Skype for Business
     account and the 
    Microsoft Exchange
     server must be in the same domain.
  • Skype for Business
     does not support shared calendars.
  1. Ensure that the following DNS names are added to the DNS server:
    • lyncdiscoverinternal.<domain>
    • lyncdiscover.<domain>
    • meet.<domain>
    For details, see:
  2. Add these FQDN names to the connectivity profile in the Additional Servers section. For details on configuring the connectivity profile, see Configure BlackBerry Work connection settings.
  3. Enable 
    Skype for Business
     in the app configuration for 
    BlackBerry Work
    . For details, see Configure BlackBerry Work app settings. 
    • Select the 
      Allow to create Skype for Business meetings in calendar
       option to allow users to add 
      Skype for Business
       meetings to their calendars.
    • Select the 
      Allow launching into Skype for Business app on mobile
       option to allow users to make voice and video calls and to be able to join 
      Skype for Business
       meetings directly from a calendar invitation. The meeting is automatically opened in the 
      Skype for Business
       client and users must have the 
      Skype for Business
       client installed on their devices.
    • In the 
      Domain of Skype for Business meeting link
       field, enter the fully qualified domain name or the domain-only portion of the 
      Skype for Business
       meeting server to allow internal users to use the Join meeting button in the event details. For example, meet.example.com or example.com. By entering this domain name, 
      BlackBerry Work
       can locate which meeting link to capture from the meeting invitation if it is different from the user's email address domain.
